Patient living record

Abstract

A system and method is provided for a patient-driven platform that generates a comprehensive, living health biography of the patient, where patients control access or visibility to aspects or portions of the information. A patient's autobiographical information and medical information is received via a graphical user interface (GUI) from a user. Access and permission levels are assigned to the inputted information as specified by the user. The patient's information is updated with continuous variable data being monitored by the patient. When a request for patient information is received from a requestor, a determination is made if the requestor is authorized to access the patient's information. In the event the requestor is authorized, then access is granted and the type and level of information that is provided is based on the user-assigned access and permission levels.

1 . A non-transitory computer-readable medium for implementing an automated patient-driven living health biography, comprising instructions stored thereon, that when executed on a processor, perform the steps of:
 providing a graphical user interface (GUI) from a platform;   receiving a patient's autobiographical information and medical information via said graphical user interface (GUI) from a user;   assigning access and permission levels to the inputted information as specified by the user; and   updating the patient's information with continuous variable data being monitored by the patient;   receiving a request for patient information from a requestor;   determining if the requestor is authorized to access the patient's information; and   wherein if the requestor is authorized then access is granted and the type and level of information that is provided is based on the user-assigned access and permission levels.   
     
     
         2 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of  claim 1  wherein said continuous variables comprise one or more of: weight, height, vital signs, electrocardiogram (EKG or ECG), and wellbeing (quality of life survey(s)). 
     
     
         3 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of  claim 1  wherein said continuous variables are obtained, in real time or recorded for later download, from one or more wearable devices, said one or more wearable devices comprising watches, smartphones, and portable computing devices. 
     
     
         4 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of  claim 1  wherein said GUI is configured for use on a mobile phone, tablet, laptop or desktop computer of the patient. 
     
     
         5 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of  claim 1  wherein said GUI further comprises one or more drop-down menus and a set of fillable forms and questionnaires. 
     
     
         6 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of  claim 1  wherein said GUI further comprises dashboards and dynamic graphics designed for displaying dynamic information of interest, said displayed dynamic information comprising one or more of blood pressure history, weight/body mass index (BMI) history, key lab history, and other parameters of interest. 
     
     
         7 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of  claim 1  further comprising generating custom records and reports. 
     
     
         8 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of  claim 1  wherein the autobiographical information is organized into a set of categories, said set of categories comprising life stats; religious, cultural health beliefs; diet and exercise profile; medications; lab tests; major social and life milestone events; medical visit findings; medical imaging; and diary. 
     
     
         9 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of  claim 8  wherein said life stats comprise one or more of: biometric identifiers, family history, and birth statistics; and wherein said biometric identifiers comprise at least one of fingerprints and retinal scans, and said birth statistics comprise at least one of date of birth, birth weight, and location of birth. 
     
     
         10 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of  claim 9  wherein said family history comprises one or more of: information on parents and siblings, family diseases, causes of death, and genetic markers. 
     
     
         11 . An automated method for implementing a patient-driven living health biography, said method comprising:
 providing a graphical user interface (GUI) from a platform;   receiving a patient's autobiographical information and medical information via said graphical user interface (GUI) from a user;   assigning access and permission levels to the inputted information as specified by the user; and   updating the patient's information with continuous variable data being monitored by the patient. receiving a request for patient information from a requestor;   determining if the requestor is authorized to access the patient's information; and   wherein if the requestor is authorized then access is granted and the type and level of information that is provided is based on the user-assigned access and permission levels.   
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 11  wherein said continuous variables comprise one or more of: weight, height, vital signs, electrocardiogram (EKG or ECG), and wellbeing (quality of life survey(s)). 
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 11  wherein said continuous variables are obtained, in real time or recorded for later download, from one or more wearable devices, said one or more wearable devices comprising watches, smartphones, and portable computing devices.
